I would wait and take in August, and apply again early for the 2025. The reason for this is two fold: The LSAT is stressful and hard, but it also determines what law school you will get in to which has a major effect on your career outcomes. I und…

@"Baloch1996-1" said: How would 170 go down if it is a curved exam? I am trying to understand. With LR and RC more people are likely to get more questions wrong, but if it is curved there should not be any issue with getting 170+. I am trying …

Do you have work experience and/or internships? If you're KJD with no resume building info it might be a little more difficult to get scholarships and admitted to some of the top schools. Overall, I think your GPA/LSAT matter a lot more, which you s…

In short, no one knows, LSAC says it won't change anything, but I think that scores 170+ will go down. At the moment, LG is a freebie section for high scorers, basically a guaranteed -0 or at worst -2. The same can't be said about LR or RC, so natu…

Are you still in the low 150s now? A 25 point score increase in 2 months is not impossible, but super hard and shouldn't be counted on. The general advice I see is to keep studying and taking PTs until your last few PTs are the average of what you w…

You won't get denied. People get retakes for far less than this.

I was PTing around 174 and scored a 171 official a few months ago. I broke 170 by doing a few things: LG -0 with extra time left to check answers. Being completely honest, this section is a guaranteed -0 for most 170+ scorers, and you should treat…

I'd focus mainly on getting that RC down to as low as you can and your LR to be more consistent around a -5. Your LG is already solid but getting it to a consistent -0 wouldn't hurt either. Your suggestion is spot on I think. I'd split your days bet…

If you want NYU with your GPA, I would try to shoot for their median, which is 172. If you can get a 174+ it would be optimal since you'll be at/above their 75th. Once you get your score, spend lots of time on your supplemental essays and apply thro…

I don't think admission committees would care at all about this, especially if you're doing volunteer work.
-
The process should be the exact opposite from what you're proposing. Since you have determined your goal score is 175, you should study hard until you PT around that range, then sign up for the official test. I see many people try to give an arbitra…

Do some untimed work! Get your groove back and then go into timed stuff again.

@madisonbt98 said: Due to the Supreme Court's decision this summer, this is no longer accurate at all. Colleges no longer have access to race demographics before admitting a student, and we will not know how that will play out differently for …

@sarahislam said: Dear all, I came across this article on avg URM LSAT and GPA by school but it is from 2017 and was wondering how accurate it is. I have not been able to find anything more recent: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/do…

This is commonly referred to as "R&R" (retake and reapply) and it is not frowned upon at all. You can frame it in a way that basically says "I wanted to take an extra year to gain more experience in the field of law I want to pursue." I would ch…

They use the same scaling that the test did when it was administered as an actual LSAT. The curve is based on how hard the sections are and it is curved by the test makers and not 7sage, 7sage just uses the curve already made. The standard curve is …

-0 LG! You're already averaging -0 to -4 so foolproofing over this next month will probably get you more consistent. I would say also to drill a lot of RC and do some untimed work to make sure you are consistent. Getting a 170 is likely if you go -0…

I have had technical issues every single time I have taken the test remotely. With that being said, they should be more cleared up now since I took Sept/Oct. I still think I'd rather remote than in person because I prefer to keep everything the same…

LSAC takes your transcripts from every undergraduate institution you attended and combines them into one GPA for you. Not quite sure how they would do it in your case but I would just send them the transcripts and see what happens through CAS.

If you had no A+ courses in undergrad then your gpa will be the same as listed at your undergrad institution unless you took some other courses at a community college or another institution. They will combine all undergrad institutions into one GPA …

If this new recommender could add a different perspective, then yes absolutely its worth it. If you already have 3 solid recs with at least 2 being from your undergrad institution, you're probably fine on not getting another one, especially since y…

@luchiswagger said: In August, I hit 159 in one of my preptests. I took the LSAT and unfortunately bombed it, scoring a 153 or so. My goal has been a 170+. After a break from studying, I resumed studying around mid to late October to prepare f…

I believe you can and just tell them to hold your application until the new LSAT comes in. Not sure on this though.
-
Keep the 150 unless you're sure you can make a large jump. DO NOT take a PT every day from now until January. It's much better to just take 1-2 a week and review your answers and drill your weaknesses. Practice tests are just a tool that reflects yo…

Take more timed full sections and review your wrong answers. It's not enough to just understand the question types, you need to understand your personal reasoning errors.
-
Not a complete expert on this, but you're going to need a convincing reason as to why this won't happen again. Schools will ultimately want to boost their bar passage rate, and like the person above me said, academic dismissal from law school implie…

155 to 160+ is very doable. Get your games as close to -0 as possible.

Retake and apply next cycle or late this cycle if you improve enough. KJD to law school with a 142 is going to be tough, and if you do get in to some schools, you probably won't get scholarship money. Your 3.7 cGPA shows that you can do better on th…
